We realised it was the time to be cautious, measured and yet assertive towards our long-term push to be a mobile app.
centred organisation that was here to solve the worries of customers irrespective of where they are, at their fingertips
and in the language that they speak. It is this assertiveness that carried us towards the steps that we took to make our
customers’ lives much simpler in these turbulent times. First, however we wanted to ensure the safety and wellbeing of
our people. With the entire market reeling under the effects of the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, we immediately
sprang into action beginning with initiatives aimed at taking care of our employees and channel partners. We felt that
continuous communication and engagement was the best way to address their worries and we did it successfully through
multiple channels. We also facilitated timely COVID-19 testing, started a home isolation program where we provided
home isolation kits and daily consultation from experts. Not only have we setup testing centres at our offices, but we
have also facilitated help with hospitalisation, and announced a COVID top-up policy where we reimburse every expense
related to COVID-19 treatment for our employees on duty. Next was to address the anxiety that everyone was feeling.
For our employees, we set up 3 exclusive employee assistance helpline numbers before the lockdown, partnering with
experts. They have dedicated and trained counselors on board to speak to employees who are experiencing worry, panic,
anxiety, how to cope with social distancing, frustration due to changed routines etc. We have now also started vaccination
programs for all our employees as per Government criteria set and have tied up with hospitals throughout the country to
ensure all our employees and their family members get vaccinated at the earliest.
We have built many industry first digital capabilities over a period of time and it was the right time to use these to
our advantage. These digital capabilities were brought to the fore in the truest sense to ensure that our customers can
seamlessly interact with us, renew polices, register claims and get services through our digital assets. Our digital servicing
was highlighted through our digital first BAGICARE CRM, where we offered seamless work from home experience to our
employees, and pushed customer servicing on our Website, Social media, Chatbot and handled close to 12 lakh requests
and more than 1.5 crore messages. Our mobile applications also took center stage with our Caringly yours app becoming
the first insurance app to cross 10 lakh downloads and our Farmitra – Caringly Yours app crossed 2 lakh downloads
helping many of our farmer customers. We took one more step ahead towards complete core transformation by making
Retail health live on the Maximus platform in addition to the current travel portfolio. We launched ‘Digi Swasth’, an end
to end integration with third party administrators for pre-medical checkups and ‘Saksham’ aimed at automation of group
mediclaim enrollment and allotment of health ecards. We took digital policy issuance a step ahead and I am happy to say
that we moved digital issuance from close of 85% last year to almost 97%, that is close to 1.9 crore policies issued through
portals and Ezee Tab. During this period, we also entered into new partnerships with established players like Punjab and
Sindh Bank and India Post Payments Bank; e-commerce players like Paytm and 2GUD (formerly eBay), and motor tie-ups
with Tata Motors Pvt. Ltd., Citroen, Royal Enfield, TAFE and Tata Hitachi, amongst others. With a continuous innovative
approach in mind, we also launched first of its kind Pet Dog Insurance product. Keeping in mind market requirements and
those of our partners, we also launched the Travel Ace International product, Group Corona Protect, Digital Suraksha group
insurance policy, Bajaj Allianz Suraksha (for HDFC Bank) and Union Suraksha (for Union Bank)
Our focus on digitalisation, prudent underwriting approach, digitally led relationship management and emphasis on cost
rationalisation is reflected in our figures. Even in a challenging environment the organisation continues to be recognised as
distribution friendly insurer, with an expertise deeply rooted in risk management. Some of our key performance indicators
have been highlighted below:
We clocked in a GWP of ` 12,624 crore
Our underwriting profit stood at ` 237 crore

Bajaj allianz general insurance company Limited 21st Annual Report 2020-21
The Company continues to be one of the most profitable insurers in the industry, with a Combined Ratio of 96.9% and
Profit Before Tax of ` 1,769 crore, which is a growth of 28.6%
We were able to deliver a Return on Equity of 20.3% (excluding fair value)
Over the year, we issued close to 2.5 crore policies and settled more than to 30 lakh claims
We received an ISO 9001:2015 re-certification for operations
Our prudent approach to business, with the customer at the centre of all our industry first innovations has won us
recognitions across the industry and beyond. A few major recognitions were,
We won the coveted Global Celent Model Insurer Award 2020 for the Digi- Swasth initiative under digital and emerging
technologies category.
We were recognized as The Best Insurer in India by IDC Financial Insights Innovation Awards 2020
We won the prestigious Business Today-Money Today Financial Services Awards as the ‘Best Motor Insurance
Provider of the Year’
We were named by IDC Financial Insights as Best Digital Insurer in Asia for IDC Financial Insights Innovation Awards
2021 (FIIA) for Digi-Enroll initiative, an end-to end automated, interactive and customized portal for GMC Customers.
We won the OLX People HR Excellence Awards 2021 (Hosted by ET HRWorld.com) under the Change Management 2020
category for COVID-19 management & Work from home policy.
We won the Global Celent Model Insurer Award 2021 under Digital and Emerging Technologies category for SkillSity –
one of its kind, AI driven, personalized learning platform
We won The Digital Insurance Initiative of the Year - India for Maximus, our Core transformation and the Marketing
Initiative of the Year - India for Care Heroes initiative in the Insurance Asia Awards 2020
We were honoured as the Operating Model Master India for Digi Swasth project at the 4th Annual IDC Digital
Transformation Awards India
Our Agriculture mobile application, Farmitra – Caringly Yours, won Gold in connected insurance and ecosystems
category at the prestigious EFMA Accenture Innovation in Insurance Awards 2020
Our digital capability building and preparedness to accelerate digital interactions throughout the spectrum of our
distribution has yielded good results as the economy was on the cusp of a recovery closer to Q3 ending and most of Q4.
Business too was on the upward curve, but towards the end of Q4 however, the COVID-19 virus seems to have made
a very strong comeback in the form of a second wave, putting pressure on the insurance industry as well. We as an
organisation are confident that we will emerge stronger with our new business models in place and more than that, the
strong team that we have, which has always emerged out of difficult situations to provide the best in class customer
service, like we did in the last financial year. We maintained the lowest grievance ratio of 0.71 per 10,000 policies and the
highest net promoter score of 65 for motor and 63 for health. This is in a year where we were not just held back by COVID,
but had several Natural calamities affecting us throughout the year like the Cyclone Nisarga, Kerala Floods, Assam Floods,
Cyclone Amphan, Cyclone Nivar and the Hyderabad floods to name a few. We have always believed that being there with
our customers in their time of need is the duty of every insurer, whether we are able to be there in person or make life
simple for them remotely. We felt that a key part of this was how we engaged and communicated with our customers. The
Company continued to sustain high level of brand visibility and engagement on social media through several innovative
and relevant campaigns during the pandemic including #CareWillOvercome and #contactlesscare. High frequency of LIVE
Streaming sessions conducted by leadership teams helped built customer connect while building thought leadership in
varied domains of business. Our digital activities itself helped us to reach over 25 crore people. The brand promotion to
support Agriculture business has helped built brand visibility in remotest part of the country.
The new financial year will bring in its own set of challenges which are already lined up. We are however confident that
things will only get better for the industry and economy at large as most citizens of the country should be vaccinated in
this year. This is also the year that Bajaj Allianz General Insurance turns 20 years old on the 2nd of May 2021. This journey
of profitability, innovation and excellence would not have been possible without the continued support and belief our
customers, employees, partners, regulator and all the stakeholders. We look forward to serving and working closely with
all of you to ensure that we set many more such benchmarks and continue to be the insurer of choice for the citizens
of our country.
Caringly yours,
Tapan Singhel

Bajaj allianz general insurance company Limited 21st Annual Report 2020-21
Going forward, rural demand is likely to remain resilient on good prospects for the agriculture sector. Urban demand and
demand for contact-intensive services is also expected to strengthen with the spread of vaccination. The fiscal stimulus
under Atma Nirbhar 2.0 and 3.0 schemes and increased capital outlays and the investment-enhancing proposals in the
Union Budget 2021-22 will likely accelerate public investment and crowd-in private investment. While the domestic
financial conditions are expected to remain supportive in view of the guidance from RBI that systemic liquidity would
continue to remain comfortable over the ensuing year, the risks of spillovers from volatility in global financial markets
remain elevated.
Overall, the economy is estimated to contract by 9.6% in 2020 as lockdowns and other efforts to control the COVID-19
pandemic slashed domestic consumption without halting the spread of the disease, despite drastic fiscal and
monetary stimulus.
Over past few years, India has emerged as one of the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be
one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong
partnerships (as per IBEF). India is expected to be the third largest consumer economy as its consumption may triple to
US$ 4 trillion by 2025, owing to shift in consumer behaviour and expenditure pattern (according to a Boston Consulting
Group (BCG) report). It is estimated to surpass USA to become the second largest economy in terms of purchasing power
parity (PPP) by 2040. India is the fourth-largest unicorn base in the world with over 21 unicorns collectively valued at US$
73.2 billion (as per the Hurun Global Unicorn List). By 2025, India is expected to have ~100 unicorns by 2025 and will create
~1.1 million direct jobs according to the Nasscom-Zinnov report ‘Indian Tech Start-up’.
Turning to the growth outlook, rural demand remains buoyant and record agriculture production for FY2021 bodes well for
its resilience. Urban demand has been gaining strength on the back of normalisation of economic activity and should get
a fillip once the vaccination drive gains momentum. The fiscal stimulus from increased allocation for capital expenditure
under the Union Budget 2021-22, expanded production-linked incentives (PLI) scheme and rising capacity utilisation should
provide strong support to investment demand and exports. Firms engaged in manufacturing, services and infrastructure
polled by the Reserve Bank in March 2021 were optimistic about a pick-up in demand and expansion in business activity
into 2021-22. Consumer confidence, on the other hand, has dipped with the recent surge in COVID infections in some states
imparting uncertainty to the outlook. Taking these factors into consideration, the projection of real GDP growth for FY2022
is expected to be in the range of 7% to 10.5% which is expected to be the fastest growing major economy with only China
coming in a close second in 2021 (as per United Nations).
Domestic economic activity is widely expected to rebound strongly in 2021-22. All time high GST collections are an
indication of the rebound. Rapid vaccination drive, large pent-up demand, investment enhancing measures by the
government and better external demand provide an upside to the baseline growth path while surge in infections, new
mutants, deviation of the south-west monsoon from the baseline assumption of a normal monsoon, higher crude oil
and non-oil commodity prices and global financial market volatility impart downside risks to the baseline growth path.
Lingering supply chain disruptions, rising global crude oil prices and stronger pass-through of input costs could push
headline inflation above the baseline. There is also the probability of softer international crude oil prices on the back of
a weaker than anticipated global demand, bountiful foodgrains production and effective supply management coming
together to ease inflation more than anticipated. The evolving COVID-19 trajectory and progress on vaccination however
remain the key drivers of economic activity and inflation, globally and in India.

e. Industry outlook
The non-life insurance market in India is the 4th largest market in Asia and 15th largest globally. While Government’s
policy of insuring the uninsured has gradually pushed insurance penetration in the country through proliferation
of insurance schemes, the non-life Insurance penetration in India is only around a fourth of global averages in 2019 as
can be seen below (Source: Swiss Re).

The insurance industry faces a truly unique moment in its long history. The fundamental disruption caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic equates to an opportunity for the industry to remake itself in line with new societal realities
and market needs. While the insurance industry like most other industries globally will see a significant impact from
COVID-19, this may be an inflection point for the industry with customers realising the importance and need for
Insurance, especially health.
The healthcare and fire protection helped the Indian general insurance industry report a tepid 5% growth for the last
fiscal even as the dominant motor and crop insurance segment shrank due to lockdowns.
While FY2022 could be another year of tepid growth as the next wave of COVID infections continue to cause disruption,
the next few years outlook is bright due to:
Strong GDP growth expected for India vs. other developed and emerging markets
Demographic advantage of young population driving high consumption
Growing awareness for need for protection especially health, home, etc.
Very low insurance penetration.
f. Opportunities
Economic growth: While there would be a slowdown on account of COVID-19, the Indian economy with its strong
fundamentals is still likely to remain amongst the fastest growing and possibly the least affected by global turmoil. As
per the World Economic Forum, by 2030, the economies of top 5 cities in India will be comparable to those of middle-
income countries today (like Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia).
High middle-income and high consumption economy: As per the World Bank “As the world’s third largest economy
in purchasing parity terms, India aspires to better the lives of all its citizens and become a high-middle income country
by 2030”. Rising income levels will result in demand for better living habitat, water, sanitation, education, healthcare
and the need for insurance.
18
Management Discussion and Analysis Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements
04-37 40-88 90-161
Demographic advantage and low insurance penetration: Demographic factors such as large and growing
population, growing middle class, high mix of working population and young insurable population and growing
awareness of the need for insurance will support the growth of Indian insurance space. Further, very low premium
per capita versus other developed/developing economies indicates significant opportunities for the insurance sector
to expand. India’s non-life insurance sector is amongst the top 15 in the world and is expected to increase at a CAGR
of 12-15% over the next five years (pre COVID-19 assessment). India currently accounts for less than 1.1% of the
world’s total non-life insurance premiums despite being the second most populous nation. (Source: IRDAI Annual
Report and IBEF).
Government thrust: Governments on going push on insurance through various schemes such as the National Health
Protection Scheme that was launched under Ayushman Bharat or the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)
that was launched for farmers, continues to give a thrust to insurance penetration. Thrust on launching standardised
insurance products will also enable growth especially across segments which are wary of complex product features.
Continued low insurance awareness and penetration: Insurance industry could continue to face challenge of low
awareness and the need for insurance resulting in low insurance penetration.
Extended impact of COVID-19: An unexpected outcome of the ongoing Pandemic could have far reaching
implications through stresses on businesses leading to job losses that could lead to slowdown in consumption. While
COVID-19 could positively impact health insurance in long term it could have a negative impact on insurance sales
linked to consumption such a car sales, etc.
Disruption of business models by technology and data driven companies: World over, large scale distribution
models (such as insurance) are facing disruption from entities that maximize the use of data. Data backed by
analytics and use of technology is expected to change the distribution landscape in the years to come. With the
traditional business models being used by most insurers in India, it is likely that the competitive landscape will change
significantly thus warranting Companies to strategize in such a way that they can provide the best value proposition to
the largest set of customers in the most convenient manner.
Enhanced FDI limits: With the enhancement in FDI limits for insurance sector in India to 74% with and the
limited capital requirements within the non-life industry, we could see a spurt of new entrants which may
enhance competition.
B. Business overview
1. Company strategy
a. Growth with profitability
The Company has always focussed on growing profitably rather than compromising on profitability at the cost
maintaining market leadership on top line. It does so consistently through, (a) robust and prudent underwriting
practices, (b) profitable & diversified portfolio of products & solutions, (c) generation of cash flows through strong
retention of premium and judicious investments of the proceeds and (d) focus on high quality and efficient customer
service and claims experience through use of technology.
Accordingly, the Company has been amongst the top performing general insurers consistently on both top and bottom
line amongst the private players, over the past decade.
b. Diversified and largest distribution, with a diverse business mix and a diversified product portfolio
The Company endeavours and continues to maintain a healthy mix of business across various distributors and product
lines. This helps the Company tide over business cycles that may impact one line of business or distribution.
The Company has one of the largest distribution across the industry with a large network of institutional partners like
banks, NBFC’s, motor dealers and individuals including agents, POS and our proprietary Virtual Sales Officers.
19
Bajaj allianz general insurance company Limited 21st Annual Report 2020-21
In addition, we continue to maintain a diversified product portfolio to address varying insurance needs of the
customers while maximizing value to our three key stakeholders i.e. Customer, Distributor and the Shareholders.
c. Retail orientation
While the Company continues to invest in all available market opportunities, the endeavour is to always maintain a
high proportion of retail business mix to avoid over dependence on any customer segment and to maintain high level
of profitability.
We manage risk as culture which encompasses across the organisation. Our rewards programs across the organisation
ensure the sufficient weightage is given to both top line and bottom line hence ensuring a well-balanced and idle risk
reward structure. The Company maintains a very effective multi-layer reinsurance program which seeks to optimize
the retention of risk at each policy level as well as at the level of lines of business. The limits under the treaties are set
based on accumulation of risks by location and category, after considering the exposure based on Probable Maximum
Loss, where applicable, and the expected frequency of claim events. Any catastrophe risk is mitigated by a separate
non-proportional reinsurance treaty, which limits the Company’s exposure to any single covered event. The reinsurers
chosen are most highly rated and rated few notches above the regulatory mandate. Our robust underwriting and
reinsurance guidelines prevent any over-exposure to a single loss event and exposure to claim payments for perils that
were never intended to be insured. Detailed reserving guidelines are in place and the adequacy of reserves is tested
from time to time and monitored by the Reserving Committee.
Our theme of “Caringly yours” lays the foundation of customer obsession through innovations in customer experience
and we strive to be the best claims paying general and health insurer. Our best in class customer service is
continuously tracked through our highest Net Promoter Scores, amongst highest claims settlement ratio and claims
settlement efficiency ratio and lowest grievance ratios.
With the objective of being ahead of the market we continue to reinvent the wheel and challenge our distribution to
identify newer engines for growth such as the Virtual Sales Office model that we pioneered and is now replicated by
many in the industry, POS (Point of Sale), Village Insurance Network (VIN) and the Health vertical.
Digital assets and smart process enabled business delivery are the DNA of the Company. We have been operating in
a two-speed model (running BAU and Transformation parallelly ensuring agile, innovative initiatives move forward
quickly without being hampered by the checks and balances that are needed to maintain business-critical and
BAU IT and operations). RUN, TRANSFORM and INNOVATE is our operating model for delivery of technology and
operational processes.
Our digital strategy has been significantly scaled up in the Covid year which has been enumerated below:
Investments made in the last few years in Digital capabilities for issuance, renewals, claims and other
servicing – resulted in exponential % increase in adoption of these capabilities across our Customer,
Intermediaries and Employees in a difficult year where touchless and contactless was the prevalent
theme. All our 10,000+ employees and thousands of intermediaries and partners were enabled to WFH (Work
from Home) prior to the national lockdown announced on 23 March 2020. Tools such as CRM for single view of the
customer providing omnichannel services, BOING – our AI enabled self-service BOT across popular mediums like
WhatsApp, our Intermediary app and portal - Ezeetab and iMitra, our Customer app - Caring Yours App, were some
of the capabilities which were widely adopted and used through the year.

During FY2021, our Core Transformation programs to build the BAGIC of the future picked up speed including
taking some of our retail lines of business-like Travel and Health to our new policy administration system (TCS
BaNCS on AWS Cloud). The capabilities delivered with this release and the ones in the pipeline in FY2022 will
create fundamental competitive differentiators for BAGIC in the years to come.
Our Cloud migration was accelerated with 40% of our workloads migrated to the multiple cloud environments.
Security, especially cyber security for both on premise and cloud deployments continues to be a big area of focus
for us, including our investments in tools, processes and people awareness.
Data and Analytics journey took big strides in terms of deployment of an omnichannel CRM platform across
points of service, creation of datalake with 5000+ attributes across internal and external data and with both
structured and unstructured data, creation of single BAGIC Customer and Household id, enabling of analytics
workbench and starting on our journey of data science with 20+ live AI/ML models across fraud management,
claims, renewals, customer churn, underwriting etc.
BAGIC continued to innovate at scale with capabilities like AI enabled BOT BOING which serviced 10 lac+
service requests, our customer facing app Caring Yours App crossed 1 million downloads (600,000 downloads in
FY2021 ), our app for the farming community Farmitra scaled new heights (3.48 lac downloads, 1.1 lac farmer
claims processed through the app).
In terms of GWP, the Company’s growth was at -1.6% (8.2% for H2FY2021) as against the market growth of 2.0%
(Private and Public multiline players). However, as depicted below, the Company caught up in H2FY2021 with a growth
of 8.2% as against market growth of 5.5%. The Company maintained its 2nd rank during FY2021 with a market share of
6.3% which moved down from 6.8% in FY2020. However, for the first time we were able to move a rank ahead of a
PSU insurers which has been in existence for over 75 years as against two decades of operations for us.

b. Claims ratio
Claims ratio for the Company for FY2021 was 68.5% as compared to 70.7% in FY2020.
Lower claims ratio is attributable to (a) Low OD claims on account of the COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown. The
lockdown led to a decline in motor claims as vehicles were not plying on the roads and (b) lower crop claims ratio
from 92.0% in FY2020 to 68.0% in FY2021 largely attributable to favourable Kharif season claims in FY2021.
Claims & Expenses Ratio
70.7%
68.5%
30.1% 28.4%
FY2020 FY2021
c. Expense ratio
Decrease in Expense ratios is largely attributable to lower management expenses (operating expenses related to
insurance business) and net commission expenses. Management expenses declined in FY2021, given several cost
rationalisation initiatives undertaken by the Company, relatively lower provisioning for increments, reduction in the
employee base and the impact of lockdowns on office running expenses as the Company encouraged employees to
work from home.
During the year, number of grievances registered were 1,748 with a grievance ratio of 0.71 per 10,000 new policies
issued (amongst the lowest against the all the leading insurers in the country).
We also continue to maintain amongst the highest NPS of 65 for Motor and 63 for Health, which we believe is the
highest in the industry.
The Company’s COR moved down from 100.8% in FY2020 to 96.9% in FY2021 largely on account of the lower claims
and expense ratio as has been explained above.
The Company registered an underwriting profit of ` 237 crore in FY2021 as against a loss of ` 11 during FY2020.
The Company earned a profit after tax of ` 1,330 crore during FY2021 as compared to the profit of ` 999 crore for the
previous year; a growth of 33.2%.
Consequently, the ROE (excl fair value) of the Company moved up from 18.1% in FY2020 to 20.3% in FY2021.

ratio as at 31 March 2021 stood at 345% (31 March 2020: 254%) which is well in excess of the required solvency
margin of 150%.
The AUM for the Company grew by 23.5% in FY2021 to end at ` 23,150 crore at 31 March 2021 up from ` 18,746 crore

Following the brand re-orientation to “Caringly Yours” last year, the new identity that aims at shifting the category
narrative from transaction to engaging, has been embedded across touch points.
The brand continued to sustain high level of visibility and engagement on social media through several innovative and
relevant campaigns during the pandemic including #CareWillOvercome and #contactlesscare. High frequency of LIVE
Streaming sessions on social media platforms conducted by leadership teams helped built customer connect while
building thought leadership in varied domains of business. The brand promotion to support Crop business and POS
vertical through 18,000 outlets has helped built brand visibility in remotest pockets of the country.
To cater to the increasing Indian Language Internet Users, the Company launched Hindi and Marathi websites. Further,
as a consequence of robust Search Engine Optimization (SEO) initiatives, an efficient UI/UX website, improved page
speed scores, deployment of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) have impacted the website traffic growth of 27% over

are performed at all levels within their functions, at various stages within business processes, and over the
technology environment.
Observations of statutory, internal and concurrent auditors are presented before the audit committee for corrective
and preventive actions. A pre-audit committee is in place to go through, in great detail, each aspect impacting the
control environment. The Audit Committee deliberates upon auditors’ views on the adequacy of internal control
systems and monitors the progress of open items through action taken report. The risk management process identifies
23
Bajaj allianz general insurance company Limited 21st Annual Report 2020-21
risks surrounding the Company’s activities. Risk management is integrated into the Company’s culture by way of an
effective policy and a program led by the senior management.
Departmental policies and procedures are an effective way to maintain a strong system of internal controls. All the
departments have documented policies and procedures of critical processes in their respective functions and ensure
operating level controls through clear delegation of authority and segregation of duties.
The financial reporting control framework reasonably assures that the Company’s financial statements are reliable and
prepared in compliance with the accounting standards as prescribed in the Companies Act, 2013, in accordance with
the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938 and the practices prevailing in the insurance industry in India.
As required under the Companies Act 2013, Company has implemented Internal Financial Control (IFC) considering
the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over
Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
The Company also has established a Governance & Controls Committee (GCC) to promptly address process
improvement decisions and support in enhancing business resiliency for embracing change and create opportunities.
Various other policies and committees support a robust internal control structure which include the Whistle Blower
policy, Whistle Blower Committee, etc.
At BAGIC, our people are curious, bold and resilient. We see challenges as opportunities and are excited by the
possibilities they offer. With a hypercompetitive external job market and growing employee career development
expectations we have rapidly upped our game through planned investment in People processes and technology. At
BAGIC we offer all our employees a defined talent value proposition to continuously challenge, enrich and fulfil the
aspirations so that they can maximize their true potential to ‘make a difference’.
During this period of pandemic, we stood strong with our core values and renewed ourselves to quickly adopt to
rapidly changing, ambiguous and turbulent environment. On one hand while we have swiftly transformed to new
ways of working, on the other hand, we have maintained strong foundation of our culture which is springboard for us
and an anchor point that doesn’t change while a whole bunch of other things are changing constantly.
In People processes, to sustain success in dynamic environment, we have balanced two vital activities very carefully
i.e. Standard HR operation and Innovation. This has helped us to run our people process with utmost care, reliability
and efficiently.
Following are few interventions that has helped us in being stable yet agile:
1. Learning Intervention:
SkillSity, an AI driven, intuitive and learner centric Learning Experience Platform was launched to deliver
personalized and democratized learning while integrating work and learning more closely with each other. With a
dynamic skills framework as foundation, the platform works on the philosophy where a learner can choose from a
plethora of content with personalized recommendations along with their preferred learning mediums like videos,
articles, podcasts, etc. The platform empowers the employees to choose what they want to learn, when they
want to learn based on their individual learning needs. This helps in driving an employee centric ‘pull’ learning
culture where ownership of learning is with the respective individual.
24
Management Discussion and Analysis Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements
04-37 40-88 90-161
impact the business outcome and exposure and learning of business outside the core area along with Project
management certification.
BAGICATHON as an intervention was aimed at being a platform that is free from any hierarchical, departmental
or location barrier, where employees came together to solve business issues, they are passionate about.
Virtual Bagicathon was a big bet and first of its kind across industry. The series of targeted communications
and meticulous planning along with it, helped BAGICATHON to surpass all expectations. Positioned as “creative
problem-solving platform”, a two-day Virtual Hackathon event was organized with 2000+ employees forming 200+
teams to collaborate and work upon 41 real time business problems witnessed by 7000+ people.
4. Performance management:
migration from Annual bonus to Quarterly incentive plan: As a performance driven organization, we believe in
continuous feedback process and high performance culture. We formalized it with quarterly evaluations and
incentives. With this, 95% of the Company is on quarterly/monthly plans. This has helped align business strategy
with goals on a continuous basis. As the market dynamics change, we are able to replicate that into quarterly
goals. For employees, they get a very sharp sense of direction and feedback. This change coincided with the
COVID outbreak, which in fact helped employees remain focused on what was expected of them. This change
positively drove transparency, requisite change in behaviors aligned to business objectives, that helped enhance
productivity and rigor for employees. This policy promotes ‘Do More, Earn More’ philosophy and entails metrics
oriented KPI assessment on individual performance. Managers are able to observe positive behavior from
employees, as the new structure empowers employees and provides clarity of earning potential based on the
level of performance. We hope this initiative along with other people offerings will serve as a powerful driver in
productivity enhancement, business alignment and retention of talent.
5. COVID management:
In these challenging times, not only have we come together to showcase care and concern for the welfare of our
employees but have also ensured the smooth functioning of the respective channels/verticals during these trying
times. We enabled the business continuity plan (full-fledged testing done a few days before the nation-wide
lockdown). Enabled work from home for most employees through availability of portable devices immediately
at start of lockdown. Multiple secure platforms for collaboration and team meetings over digital media also
made available. Our digitization of onboarding and off-boarding process helped us provide good experience to
our people. Taking a step forward, we reinforced the usage of our confidential Employee Assistance Program
(EAP) for people who needed help to manage their vulnerabilities such as anxiety, worry, panic, how to cope
with social distancing, frustration due to changed routines etc. and in an unfortunate event of employees getting
impacted by COVID-19, to take extra care of them, we extended BAGIC Home Isolation Assistance Program in
consultation with renowned experts. Complete safety measures were undertaken which included supply of masks
and temperature scanning devices to all locations, installation of foot operated multiple sanitiser dispensers
across all offices, installation of foot operated water taps in washrooms, installation of thermal scanners and UV
protection equipment.

As can be seen above, while the gross commission ratio has been flattish, the lower commission paid (net) is largely
attributable to higher commission received on reinsurance ceded due to higher ceding.
Decrease in expenses has largely been driven by lower wage costs (by 16%) through productivity enhancement, lower
office running expenses (due to lockdowns and office rationalisation) and lower discretionary expenses as part of our
expense rationalisation initiatives.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your Directors have pleasure in presenting their Twenty First annual report and audited financial statements for the
financial year ended 31 March 2021 (FY2021).
Industry update
After recording approximately 17% growth rate in Gross Written Premium (GWP) in the last 5 years, the general insurance
industry in India was faced with one of its most challenging years. As the national lockdown was announced towards the
end of FY 2020, the year started with the economy at a near standstill. The Company focused on the immediate steps to
tackle the pandemic focusing on well-being of employees, enabling work-from-home, providing customers with facilities
to report claims and keep their policies renewed and so on.
The business impact of the lockdown and the pandemic was somewhat mixed. Production and sales of automobiles
across all segments – two wheelers, private cars and commercial vehicles were down for several months in the wake
of the lockdown. The motor segment represents over 45% of the industry’s gross premiums and hence this had a major
impact on industry growth. Travel had come to a standstill and, correspondingly travel insurance segment also suffered
negative growth for much of the year. On the other hand, there was a spurt in demand for health insurance policies for a
few months, especially COVID-specific policies. From Q3 onwards, businesses started to revive and, by the end of the year
many segments had reached pre-COVID levels in terms of growth though the recovery in a few segments like passenger
carrying commercial vehicles is still yet to gain full momentum.
On the claims front, lower frequency of accidents in motor insurance and non-COVID health insurance claims were positive
events which were partially offset by a significant occurrence of COVID claims in health insurance segment. Average claim
sizes started moving up for motor and non-COVID health claims as the recovery started.
Your Company further strengthened its business continuity plan based on its experience of handling the lockdown.
As of the date of this report, while the COVID-19 vaccination efforts have gained momentum, uncertainty due to the
resurgence of COVID cases across many parts of India is rising. Localised partial lockdowns have been announced. While
your Company is significantly better prepared to handle a further lockdown than before, a complete national lockdown
is bound to have an effect on the industry and your Company. Your Company’s financial position in terms of Net Worth,
Solvency margin, Assets Under Management and liquidity are better on 31 March 2021 as compared to 31 March 2020.
The year also saw a better than average monsoon and lesser major catastrophes as seen in the recent few years, besides
cyclone Amphan.
Despite such challenging circumstances on all fronts and inspite of sharp decline in GWP in the first half of FY2021, the
industry posted growth of 5.2% for FY2021. This was largely driven by growth in Health and Property. As against this, your
Company posted growth rate of -1.6% for FY2021 (8.2% for H2). Your Company’s growth during the year was lower than
the industry due to depressed sales of highly profitable passenger carrying commercial vehicles for most part of the year
where the Company had higher exposure than market and which also led to better than industry profitability for your
Company in the past few years.
The growth rates in gross direct premium in India (Gross written premium less reinsurance accepted) for the industry and
for your Company, are shown in the following Table:

Directors’ Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2021 Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements

Gross premium
Your Company continues to participate in the crop insurance and government health insurance business, which is largely
tender driven and adds to volatility. Its market share for FY2021 was 6.3% as compared to 6.8% in FY2020.
General and Health Insurance is still largely sold either by the insurance Company directly or through individuals and
institutional distribution partners. This essentially involves face to face interaction, which was simply not possible in a
lockdown situation for the first half of FY2021.
The priority was to ensure the well-being of employees. The Company took the following steps to ensure the same:
Enabled the business continuity plan (full-fledged testing done a few days before the nation-wide lockdown)
Enabled work from home for most employees through availability of portable devices immediately at start of
lockdown. Multiple secure platforms for collaboration and team meetings over digital media also made available
Health support hotline created for employees with doctor on call
Complete safety measures taken which included supply of masks and temperature scanning devices to all locations,

The Bajaj Group’s humanitarian philosophy was articulated by Shri Jamnalalji Bajaj, who had advised that all
business activities should look for opportunities for philanthropy and that these philanthropic contributions to
society should be above any thought of business gains. As the Government of India implemented Corporate
Social Responsibility rules in 2014, the Bajaj Group of Companies significantly scaled up its activities in the social
development space. The Group has collaborated with more than 300 NGO partners – the projects supported are
in health, education, women’s empowerment, and environmental sustainability – and has made fund allocations
of over H 13,000 crore till date.

Healthcare and child welfare are the two main focus areas in the Group’s philanthropic work. Specifically, the Group companies
support interventions in fighting malnutrition; reaching out to underserved communities with holistic healthcare facilities; and
provision of shelter for street children.
Employment
Banking, financial service and insurance (BFSI) is a growing sector in India that requires very specific attitude, skills, and
domain knowledge. To help fresh graduates and final-year undergraduate students to make a career in BFSI, a special
course has been designed by Bajaj Finserv. This course, CPBFI (a customised certificate programme in banking, finance, and insurance)
not only increases the employability of the Indian youth, but also creates a local talent pool for the BFSI sector in Tier 2 and 3 cities.
To design the course, the Group has partnered with a top management school and experts in the field of mental health. The CPBFI
training is imparted by a team of corporate trainers, who go beyond the curriculum and share their corporate experience with the
students, becoming their mentors in the process.
A final round of interviews is conducted by recruiters from Bajaj Finserv and its subsidiaries, where the students gain experience of a
corporate recruitment process and receive feedback about their own readiness for the industry. Bajaj Finserv has already conducted
2 job fairs on a pilot basis. Going forward, a placement division would be set up to provide employment opportunities for the CPBFI
alumni in BFSI and allied sectors. The project is functional across 9 states and 55 districts and more than 9,500 students have benefited
from the programme.

As can be seen from this report, the Company’s governance practices and disclosures often go well beyond
complying with the minimum statutory requirements stipulated in applicable law.
The various elements of the Corporate Governance framework along with relevant details are described below:
Philosophy
Corporate Governance is a reflection of principles entrenched in our values and policies and also embedded
in our day to day business practices, leading to value driven growth. The commitment of the Company and its
promoters to the highest standards of Corporate Governance practices predates the Companies Act and the
Insurance regulations. Ethical dealings, transparency, fairness, disclosure and empowered accountability are the
main thrust of the working of the Company.
Board of Directors
In keeping with good governance practice, the Company’s policy is to have an appropriate blend of executive, non-
executive and independent directors to maintain the independence of the Board and to separate the Board functions of
governance and management.
The Managing Director, who is the only executive director, is a professional with vast experience in insurance and
unrelated to the promoters. Two of the Directors are women.

At your Company, ERM deals with risks and opportunities to create or preserve value. ERM as a process is ongoing,
effected by people (Board of Directors, Management and Employees), applied in setting strategy and across the Company,
designed to identify potential events (risks and opportunities) and manage the risks within its risk appetite, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the Company’s objectives.
Your Company is committed towards managing risks in line with its stated risk appetite through a systematic framework
which identifies, evaluates, mitigates and monitors risks that could potentially have a material impact on the value of the
organisation or potentially hinder the organisation in achieving its stated business objectives and goals.
The risk management practices are aimed to address one or more of these risk management goals as given below:
Ensure integration of risk considerations into decision-making processes including promotion of a strong risk
management culture supported by a robust risk governance structure;
Determine the relevant processes and strategies for risk management which include identification of risks, ongoing
measurement and monitoring of risk exposures and ensuring relevant control or risk transfer;
Develop and monitor mitigation plans for high risk items identified through the self-assessment mechanism carried out
by respective business functions, loss events and internal / statutory audit findings;
To ensure adherence to all regulatory mandates as laid down by different regulatory authorities and all critical internal
policies / limits;
Minimising reputational risk as identified and assessed as part of a regular assessment and managed on a
case-by-case basis.

Bajaj allianz general insurance company Limited 21st Annual Report 2020-21
The risk strategy of the Company is to identify actual and potential threats to the Company on a short and long-term
basis internally and externally. The RMC oversees the functioning of the overall risk management framework of the
Company and implementation of the risk management strategy. The RMC has also been vested with the responsibility to
formulate, implement, monitor and periodically revise the Asset Liability Management strategy of the Company. The RMC
comprises of Sanjiv Bajaj as the Chairman, with Ritu Arora, Ranjit Gupta, Directors and Tapan Singhel, MD & CEO being the

table sets out the particulars and attendance of members of the Committee at the aforesaid meetings:
The supervisory level ERC, convened by the Chief Risk Officer, comprises of various Heads of Departments, which
have been identified as the owners of key risks within the Company. They are responsible for implementation of risk
management activities including risk mitigation plan within their respective vertical/department. This executive level
committee ensures centralised risk monitoring and management. The quorum of the meeting is one-third of the total
number of members of the committee. The ERC holds meetings on regular basis generally every quarter. The committee
may call for a meeting of the ERC if the needs arise and may invite any person to the meeting.
Covering major categories of assessable risks, independent of the assessment methodology and quantifiability, the risk
management framework encompasses practices relating to identification, assessment, monitoring and mitigation of
these risks. The overall risks are divided into several categories, which are further subdivided into major sub-categories.
While the risk categories remain clearly distinct from each other, at the time of assessment their interdependencies are
taken into account.
2. Credit risk or the risk of default of counter parties is sought to be mitigated by investing in securities with minimum
acceptable credit rating and reviewing changes in credit ratings. The Company also seeks to deal with financially
sound reinsurers.

04-37 40-88 90-161
3. Liquidity risk is monitored on a regular basis to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained to meet short-term
obligations by timing the cash inflows and outflows through cash flow matching and by maintaining a minimum mix
of liquid assets.
4. Operational risk is mitigated by a system of internal audit, risk control assessments and fraud prevention which flags
off areas where risks are identified.
5. Insurance / business risk is sought to be mitigated by executing business operating plan and having a risk and reward
plan for new business, renewals, expenses, claims ratio and monitor actuals.
6. The Company has a Disaster recovery (DR) site in a different seismic zone along with Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) and
Business Continuity Policy with a detailed Business Continuity Plan to mitigate Business Continuity risk.
7. The Company’s robust Business Continuity Management system has been effective towards delivering uninterrupted
services to all stakeholders during the period adversely affected by outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. The Company
introduced various initiatives and safety protocols for employees and business partners to include pathological testing,
medical kits, increased and enhanced healthcare insurance coverage, access to psychological counselling, work-from-
home policy, among others. The Company continues to support all stakeholders by adapting and making available
optimised digital platforms for seamless transactions.

Management Report
for the Financial Year ended 31 March 2021
The Management Report has been prepared in accordance with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
(‘IRDAI’) (Preparation of Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report of Insurance Companies) Regulations, 2002, and
circulars/guidelines issued by IRDAI thereafter, for the financial year ended 31 March 2021.
With respect to the operations of Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31
March 2021 and results thereof, the Management of the Company confirms and declares that:
1. Certificate of registration
The Company has paid to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) the annual fees for
FY2022 as specified by the IRDA (Registration of Indian Insurance Companies) Regulations, 2000, as amended and the
registration certificate granted by IRDAI is in force as on the date of this report.
2. Statutory liabilities
All dues payable to the statutory authorities have been duly paid except those under dispute where the Company has
preferred appeals.
5. Solvency margin
We hereby confirm that the Company has maintained adequate assets to cover both its liabilities and required solvency
margin as prescribed under section 64VA of the Insurance Act, 1938 (amended by the Insurance Laws (Amendment)
Act, 2015) and the IRDAI (Assets, Liabilities and Solvency Margin of General Insurance Business) Regulations, 2016. The
solvency position of the Company is as follows:

The Company has a multi-layer reinsurance program which seeks to optimize the retention of risk at each policy level
as well as at the level of lines of business. The Company’s retention of risks varies according to lines of business and
is decided after considering relevant factors such as capital and solvency position, available reinsurance capacity and
adequacy of reinsurance terms. The automatic reinsurance program of the Company is designed as multi-layer treaties
combining proportional reinsurance (where the Company and the reinsurer share the premiums and claims in an
agreed proportion) and non-proportional reinsurance. The limits under the treaties are set based on accumulation of
risks by location and category, after considering the exposure based on Probable Maximum Loss, where applicable,
and the expected frequency of claim events. The Company is exposed to catastrophe risk, which is mitigated by a
separate non-proportional reinsurance treaty, which limits the Company’s exposure to any single covered event. In
addition to treaties, the Company also purchases, where required, on a case-to-case basis, facultative reinsurance for
specific policies, where either treaty limits are inadequate or the risk is not covered by the terms of the reinsurance
treaties. The reinsurance program of the Company is filed with the IRDAI and is also approved by the Board.
Risk governance
The Company has a dedicated and independent risk management department headed by the Chief Risk Officer who
reports on status of risks to the Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”) and Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) of the
Board. The quarterly Committee meetings allow dedicated evaluation and review of existing strategies to mitigate
the risks. The Company also has established a Governance & Controls Committee (“GCC”) to promptly address process
improvement decisions and support in enhancing business resiliency for embracing change and create opportunities.
The RMC advises the Board on the risk exposures and the actions taken to manage the same. The ERC consisting of
various departmental representatives, convened by the Chief Risk Officer, reviews risks as well as the risk processes
78

and procedures with the Board approved Risk Management Policy. The Company has an independent Internal Audit
Department which audits the operations of its offices and functions. Key operational risks and compliances are audited
according to an audit plan approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Valuation of policy liabilities
is independently done by the Actuary and the methodologies are also reviewed by IRDAI apart from the peer-
review mechanism
Risk Management Cycle is applied as base for identification and solution tool that entails:
Risk Control Assessments that factor in multiple sources of risk related inputs are conducted periodically to enrich and
build on the previous risk registers in consideration of the changes to functional process. Risk Review process involves
segregating between control types, undertaking control testing for key areas to evaluate mitigation effectiveness,
understanding the level of residual risks, examining loss events and assigning Key Risk Indicators towards a
comprehensive risk rating mechanism and aggregated risk repository for profiling based on likelihood and impact. Risk
assessment methodology applied to report on the systemic and correlated risks is based on Occurrence Likelihood x
Probable Financial Impact x Outrage (Reputation, public perception).
The Company follows the Top Risk Assessment (“TRA”) methodology to identify, measure and assess residual risks
along with Bottoms-Up Approach from conducting periodic Risk Control Assessments.
Key risks: As a general (non-life) insurer, the Company is exposed to a variety of risks. The primary risks are that of
frequency of claims as measured by the number of claims in relation to number of policies outstanding and severity of
claims as measured by the average amount per claim. The frequency and severity risks vary according to the lines of
business. Key risks include:

9. Claims
The settlement time for claims depends on various factors pertinent to respective lines of business, such as cause
of loss, the nature of claim, etc. Typically, claims which result in total or partial destruction of assets or records (such
as those caused by Acts of God), those where adequate documentation to assess the claims are awaited and those
which are the subject matter of judicial processes (such as motor third party liability insurance claims) tend to have
longer settlement times, which are beyond the control of the Company. During FY2021, there was spurt in the health
insurance claims on account of COVID-19 treatments, which have been processed as per the regulatory norms and
reported to the Authority as required from time to time. The year also saw courts being closed for prolonged periods
of time, due to lockdowns, which also led to lesser motor third party claims being settled.
The Company has internal processes for regular review of such claims paid and outstanding. Ageing of claims
indicating the trends in average claim settlement time during the preceding five years is given in Annexure I and
ageing analysis of claims registered and not settled (excluding provision for IBNR / IBNER and claims relating to inward
re-insurance from terrorism pool and the Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool) is given in Annexure II to this Report.

Other Information
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the Other Information. The other information comprises the Director’s
Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Other Information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained
in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report
in this regard.
Responsibility of Management and the Board of Directors for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, operating profit/loss, profit/
loss and the Receipts and Payments of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
90
Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2021 Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements
04-37 40-88 90-161
India, including the provisions of the Insurance Act, the IRDA Act, the IRDA Financial Statements Regulations, the orders/
directions/circulars issued by the IRDAI in this regard and Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, to
the extent applicable. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to
the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion
on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness
of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as
a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Bajaj Allianz General Insurance
Company Limited (the “Company”) as of 31 March 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the
Company for the year ended on that date.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on
Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and whether such controls
operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of
such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

Claims paid (net of recoveries including salvage retained by the insured and includes interest paid towards claims)
are charged to the revenue account when approved for payment. Where salvage is retained by the Company, the
recoveries from sale of salvage are recognized at the time of sale.
Provision is made for estimated value of outstanding claims at the Balance Sheet date net of reinsurance, salvage
and other recoveries. Such provision is made on the basis of the ultimate amounts that are likely to be paid against
each claim, as anticipated and estimated by the management in light of past experience and subsequently modified
for changes, as appropriate.
Amounts received/receivable from the reinsurers’ and coinsurers’, under the terms of the reinsurance and
coinsurance arrangements respectively, are recognized together with the recognition of the claim.
2.11 Claims Incurred but not reported and claims incurred but not enough reported

current accounting period but have not been reported to the Company. The IBNR reserve also includes provision for
claims Incurred But Not Enough Reported (IBNER). The said liability is determined by Appointed Actuary based on
actuarial principles. The actuarial estimate is derived in accordance with relevant IRDAI regulations and guidance
note 21 issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India. The Appointed Actuary has certified that the methodology and
assumptions used to estimate the liability are appropriate and in accordance with guidelines and norms issued by the
Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with the IRDAI regulations.
2.13 Income from Investments: Segregation between Policyholders’ and Shareholders’ funds
Income earned from investments and gains or loss on sale of investments is allocated to Revenue Account and
Profit and Loss Account on the basis of actual holding of the investments of the Policyholders and Shareholders as
bifurcated according to the IRDAI Circular No. IRDA/F&A/CIR/CPM/056/03/2016 dated 4 April 2016 with effect from
1 October 2016. The income earned from investments, gains or loss on sale of investments and other income are
further allocated to the lines of business in proportion of net premium.

less accumulated depreciation. Assets costing up to Rupees Twenty thousand are depreciated fully in the year
of acquisition.

04-37 40-88 90-161
Subsequent expenditure incurred on tangible assets is expensed out except where such expenditure results in an
increase in future benefits from the existing assets beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
In respect of liabilities incurred in acquisition of fixed assets in foreign exchange, the net gain or loss arising on
conversion/settlement is charged to the Revenue Account.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Revenue Account when the asset
is de-recognized.
Depreciation on assets is provided based on Management’s assessment of useful life which reflect the Useful life
specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, as follows:
Useful Life (in years) as per Useful Life (in years) as per Schedule
Nature of assets Management’s assessment II of the Companies Act, 2013
Vehicles * 8 8
Office equipment 5 5
Buildings 60 60
* Useful life of vehicle allotted to the employees is considered 4 years as per management estimates.
**Lease hold improvements and electrical fittings installed at leased premises are depreciated over the primary period of lease which is generally 3
years.
Intangible fixed assets and amortization
Intangible fixed assets representing software are recorded at its acquisition price and are amortized over their
estimated useful life on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the assets are available for use. Significant
expenditure on improvements to software are capitalized when it is probable that such expenditure will enable the
asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably. Subsequent expenditures are amortized over the
remaining useful life of original software. The management has estimated the useful life for such software as three
years except in case of the newly implemented Policy Administration System where the useful life is estimated as
ten years (as against the maximum useful life of ten years prescribed under AS 26 for intangible assets).
The useful life of the asset is reviewed by the management at each Balance Sheet date.
The Company provides pro rata depreciation from/to the month in which the asset is acquired or put to use/disposed
off as appropriate.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Revenue Account when the asset
is de-recognized.

net selling price and value in use. Value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected
to arise from the continuing use of the assets and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. In assessing
value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at a rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset, as determined by
the management.
ii) After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining
useful life, if any.

25.Pending litigations
The Company’s pending litigations comprise of claims against the Company and proceedings pending with various
Tax Authorities including Income Tax, Service Tax and Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Company has reviewed
all its pending litigations and proceedings and has made adequate provisions, wherever required and disclosed the
contingent liabilities, wherever applicable, in its financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of
these proceedings to have a significant impact on its financial position. (Refer note no.3 of schedule 16 for details on
contingent liabilities).
The Company had received a show cause cum demand notice towards service tax under reverse charge mechanism on
reinsurance contracts on weather based crop insurance policies (WBCIS) and Modified National Agricultural Insurance
schemes (MNAIS). Based on Company’s assessment and on the basis of independent opinion sought from external tax
consultants, the Company is of the belief that the liability is not expected to materialize. Further, the matter being an
industry wide issue with significant impact on the viability of the WBCIS and MNAIS, the same has been represented
by the General Insurance Council to the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs for clarification.
As at 31 March 2021 the Company did not have any outstanding derivative contracts.

Business impact
COVID-19 outbreak has been declared as a Pandemic by World Health Organization in March 2020. Since the outbreak,
COVID-19 continues to spread across the globe bringing economic activities to a grinding halt leading to significant
volatility in global and Indian financial markets. While things started looking positive in the third quarter, the next
wave hit India towards the end of fourth quarter which has led to regional lockdowns.
The Government is undertaking several measures to restrict the spread of virus and provide financial support to some
stressed sectors. Further, while the COVID-19 vaccination efforts have gained momentum, uncertainty due to the
resurgence of COVID cases across many parts of India is rising.
The extent to which COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company depends on future spread of the virus and related
developments, which are highly uncertain, including, among other things, resurgence and period/scale of lockdowns
and its repercussions on the economy, availability of the vaccine, government intervention to provide financial support
to the stressed sections, etc. The Company will continue to closely monitor developments as they unfold.
The nation-wide lockdown towards the end of March 2020 required the Company to activate its Business Continuity
Plan to enable operations to run with minimal disruption. The disruption was largely mitigated through the facility to
Work from Home (WFH). WFH was enabled through use of portable devices through the Company’s Virtual private
Network (VPN) ensuring requisite data security controls. Accordingly, the operations of the Company were performed
at remote locations (WFH) through secured servers. From its experience of complete lockdown, the Company further
strengthened its business continuity plan.
As the processes of the Company are mostly automated/system driven, WFH has not led to any material change in the
controls or processes. The Company has an Internal Financial Control framework that has been independently tested
covering all the material controls over financial reporting and found them to be operating effectively at 31 March 2021.
The Company has used internal and external sources of information including credit reports, economic forecasts
and consensus estimates from market sources on the expected future performance of the underlying companies in
developing the estimates and assumptions to assess the fair value of the investments as at 31 March 2021. Further,
the Company has carried out detailed evaluation of the investment portfolio considering the current market prices vis-
à-vis acquisition cost and the potential impact of COVID-19 on business models of investee companies. In accordance
with the impairment policy of the Company, diminution in the value of investments which is not temporary in nature
has been evaluated on the Balance Sheet date and provisions for the same, as considered necessary have been made
in these financial statements. Refer note 33.
The Company has performed sensitivity analysis on the investment portfolio and in specific on a few potentially
stressed exposures and believes that such sensitivities/stresses have no material impact on the Solvency position of
the Company which stood strong at 345% as against the regulatory requirement of 150%.
The Company has evaluated the recoverability of all its investments and expects to recover the carrying amount
of these assets.
Actuarial reserving
The nation-wide lockdown has resulted in significantly low commercial activity thus positively impacting the loss ratios
during the period of lockdown especially in the motor line. However, with the commercial activity resuming motor
claims are up to pre Covid-19 levels. Third party motor claims are however being settled with a lag as courts have still
not resumed pace for such cases which may add interest burden for us which has been considered while reserving for
at 31 March 2021. Covid-19 has impacted our Retail Health portfolio adversely.
